Cardi B denied touching security guard Emani Ellis and said she could not have caused a scratch. The guard alleges the rapper cut her face with a fingernail and spat on her during an altercation near an obstetrician's office while Cardi's pregnancy was not public. Cardi said the argument became heated, included profane exchanges, and involved a chest-to-chest moment, but she denied any physical contact. Cardi said Ellis followed her to a fifth-floor appointment and appeared to film her, prompting fear of being outed. Cardi explained she had kept the pregnancy private during early stardom.
Ron Rosen Janfaza, lawyer for the plaintiff, Emani Ellis, asked her if she had been angry. Yes I was angry! Because I'm pregnant! Cardi replied. And this girl's about to beat my ass! She acknowledged that the argument got very heated, repeating in court much of the swearing the two did, and that they were chest-to-chest at one point, but said the fight never became physical.
The obstetrician's office had been closed to other patients on a Saturday for her privacy. She said Ellis, a security guard for the building, followed her to her fifth-floor appointment. Cardi said she heard Ellis say her name into a phone and appeared to be filming her. Cardi feared Ellis would out the fact that she was pregnant. I told her: Why are you recording?' Cardi testified. And she said: Oh, my bad.' She practically apologized.' But the argument grew increasingly heated, she said.
